Three Men Arrested For Terrorism Offences – UK
Homeland Security NTARC News | 10/23/2009 | no comments
In a surprising turn of events, three men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses after police raided a house looking for drugs and small containers of chemicals were discovered.
Two 24-year-old men and a 41-year-old from Blackwood, were originally arrested by Gwent Police on Wednesday over drugs offences.
But when specialist officers searched a house to identify the drugs, they arrested the three under the Terrorism Act 2000.
The case has now been passed on to the Metropolitan Police, but Gwent Police last night (fri)insisted the inquiry was not linked to international terrorism.
